Also, I haven't been able to follow LKM as well as I would have liked lately, but a few months ago, in one of the many IDE bash sessions that have happened in 2.5.x I read a few people blaiming some of the problems on interactions between the new block layer and the IDE layer. Sorry about the worries. I am just trying to be cautious. I am guessing you are saying that the block layer is now solid? If this is the case, it sure knocks a few of my worries out of the ball park and I will be that much closer to trying out 2.5.x myself.
